oaks.
There are few of the genus Quercus in the Pacific Northwest when compared to the east which is rich in many species: scarlet,, pin, black, red, blackjack, willow, live, water and shingle. Our eastern woods are indeed rich in oaks.
My new friend came to Virginia in November, and we walked among leafless trees. Kit stopped and stood silent for a time. "I've never heard this before," he said in wonderment.
No bird was calling. I was puzzled. "Heard what?" 1 asked.
"This sound," he said, shuffling his feet. "These dry leaves."
Kit was a young man of Oregon; his love of the natural world had been developed and nourished where evergreens dominate the woods. There is no great autumn fall such as we experience from deciduous trees in the east. Pine needles on the ground make for soft and silent walking.
